it only fires along with my internal falsh T3i and when i put my hands over my internal flash. the external flash doesn't expose, why?

Not sure if you found your answer, but you'll need this to fire the strobe instead of using the pop-up flash on your camera body: Cowboystudio 4-Channel Radio Remote Trigger with 2 Receivers for Studio Strobe.It triggers the strobe to flash when you depress the shutter button.

Because it needs to see the light from the internal flash to trigger it. You can set your internal for fill or lower the setting. Ideally get a remote trigger like pocket wizards to trigger the strobe

I'm not absolutely sure what is meant by this question but is sounds like he/she is using a Canon Rebel T3i with the studio flash. If the "internal falsh" (sic) is the built-in camera flash (it probably is) and if he/she means that the strobe fires when the built-in camera flash fires, then I presume he/she is using the light sensor slave on the Mettle. (I could be wrong, but this is what I think is meant). So, when the on camera flash is covered, the light sensor slave is not triggered. Does the T3i have a synch cord port? If so, use that. If not, don't cover the built-in flash.

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them. Hope this helps, Robert~

The trigger sits on the hotshoe which acts as the interface. As you press the shutter release a signal is sent through the hotshoe to the trigger which transmits a signal to the receiver(s) to fire your flash. I have a T3i - same camera as the 60D.

Should be fine, it simply fits on the flash shoe and allows you to use your old flash units. The old flash units used a higher voltage and this device simply reduces the voltage to a safe level. Should be fine for the t3i.

You have to pop it open for the flash to work. Actually have not used the flash much.

My CanonT3i has a built in wireless flash trigger. If configured properly, will my T3i transmitter trigger this receiver?

Jerczey....This works great with the T3i. I am a very satisfied customer and glad I bought it.

It sounds like you had interference with other radio waves. Sometimes when I shoot at home I have similar issues: about one out of ten clicks won't fire the flash. Never had that issue at other locations. My only explanation is that at my place there are too many Wi-Fi signals interfering. Perhaps something similar happened to you.

check out the manual, its doing both (charging flash and writing cached buffer on the memory), meaning i may well need an external (ohh gooding!!!! more stuff for my camera) so for such a case, what external flash unit would you recommend, cause i've been looking at the at different ones, and the one that fits my needs the best according to what i've seen is the 430EX II by canon, what your insight is it to much to little?

Does it have a foot to connect an external flash? If so then it should work. It just goes in front of the flash and slides into the foot area.

First, you have to press the flash release button to open the flash(refer to the manual for location{ looking at the back of the camera, it's to the left of the flash cover, on the top of the camera} ). You also have to set the flash mode; always, automatic,etc.Several times I've been frustrated only to find out that the flash wasn't open and ready.Good luck.

I have a canon t3i and I'd got the same battery package like u, i don't have any Cain of problem. Just try to pull it up slowly.... :)

You need at minium two transceivers, one for the camera and one for the flash. Then you will be able to access the flash through the camera's menu. This is of course assuming the Rebel has the flash menu, I have no specific knowledge on the T3i.

The flash is attached to the lens so you need to check yoir lens has internal spiral and check the lens diameter.the flash comes with a set of adapters for different lens sizes if the right size adaptor is there then it works

Actually just looking on the boards here I found out the answer. I had it set to Burst Mode in the settings because I was trying out all the features the week before. So even on the IA setting, it would not take photos with flash. I am sure that was somewhere in the manual or it might just be a known photography thing.

Works fine - I've tested the flash with both the case on and off. (I had a different cast that it didn't work with so I knew to check)
